BBE 100 mls

Babe is a topical medication containing benzyl benzoate (25% w/v), which is used primarily as an antiseptic and scabicidal agent. It is typically prescribed to treat skin conditions such as scabies and pediculosis (lice infestations).

Key uses of Babe (benzyl benzoate 25% w/v):

1. Scabies: Benzyl benzoate is most commonly used to treat scabies, a skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It works by killing the mites and their eggs, effectively treating the infestation.

2. Lice: It is also used to treat lice infestations (pediculosis), although other treatments may be more commonly recommended depending on the situation.

3. Antiseptic: Benzyl benzoate has mild antiseptic properties and may be used to cleanse the skin.

How it works:

Benzyl benzoate works by affecting the nervous system of mites and lice, leading to their death. It also helps to relieve itching associated with these infestations, which is common with conditions like scabies.

Application:

For scabies: Babe (benzyl benzoate) is typically applied to the entire body, excluding the face, in a thin layer, usually once or twice a day. The treatment is typically repeated after several days.

For lice: It is applied to the affected areas and left for a prescribed duration before being washed off.
